Fatman admits Gold Club service is inferior

July 16, 2006 — Koptalk Outsider

Sorry about the headline – he does admit that the new SMS service is better than the one the Gold Club members get though. And if he can use misleading headlines every day then my headline is pretty innocent…

No doubt frightened to death of posting things on his own forums now for fear of being shown once again as a liar out to fleece all Reds, Duncan Oldham has hardly spouted any of his nonsense today.

He said in advance of his first Koptalk “Radio” broadcast of the new season that his kids would be there, along with his mum, I mean “Katie, 18”. The kids are the ones he complained had received abuse from people through the net. No proof, just empty accusations. If they had received abuse it was from him. The day after saying he was going to have his kids involved in his “radio” broadcast he was warning that his show wasn’t for kids. And from what some of you told me, it was straight into his usual poor foul-mouthed nonsense for the broadcast. Some of you also pointed out that it was more by luck than design that your own kids weren’t listening with you, as you’d seen the message about him having his own kids with him during the broadcast, not the “not safe for kids” warning.

That’s something you get used to when you run into Oldham in any way. He lies. He lies so much about everything from the most minor to the most major of details that he does lie himself into knots. He gets caught lying and so tells another lie to cover the first one up. And then gets caught again, so another lie pops up. And on it goes. And how silly he looks. Maybe there’s a good reason why his kids weren’t at the broadcast despite his earlier assurances they would be. Maybe social services warned him not to exploit them again for the purposes of making money. Maybe his in-laws warned him not to exploit them and kept them away from him for the weekend. Maybe they were there, and there’s a good reason why he swore in front of them. To be honest I don’t think we’ll hear the truth – he’ll make up some story about why he lied again. Yes, he’ll lie about his lie.

The only thing he’s said since he announced his latest attempt to rip off Reds the world over (a 40 quid a year SMS service) was to comment on this SMS service. Nice to see his own members nearly causing him heart failure here. I say ‘nearly causing’ because there’s no way his members could cause Dunk’s heart failure themselves. He sits on his arse all day eating pies and drinking full-sugar cola, before spending most of the rest of the time on the beer. He’ll cause his own heart failure, his “punters” might just hurry it along a touch…

It Sounds Great And Im Getting Tempted, But Is There A Way You Can Change Your Number As I Often Change My Phone And Sometimes Need To Change My Sim Card?
I Dont Want To Sign Up Then Find Out That I Cannot Change The Number I receive Them On.

Firstly, why all the capitals ?

Secondly, you may as well sign up to the GC, if I’m not mistaken, they still have a similar complimentary SMS service, and it costs less than 40 quid to subscribe. (This is the point where Dunkin fell off his chair, and struggled to get back to his keyboard again to put his member right. The near heart-failure moment.)

Yes we can change your number as many times as you like.

There is a free service for Gold Club members but this is much more intense and GC members have the option to join this also. (i.e, the Gold Club version will be practically phased out now so that I can charge more money for this other version.)

If you need any help, just give us a bell and we’ll sort you out.

Thanks for thinking about supporting the site! (Supporting the site! No, he would be supporting your local pie shop and the consultant who’ll be dealing with your blocked arteries pretty soon. In fact I bet you’re so annoyed at this post in this blog that you’ve just gone to the fridge for another big piece of cream cake.)

Thanks mate (You’re his mate from now until he gets your money. You try asking why the SMS messages started to reduce in number and frequency after a week and you’ll not be his mate then. He’ll even lose your phone number.)

We know that this will probably start off as a fairly good (although overpriced) service. Then he’ll get bored. It’s too much work, for him, plus he’ll run out of the credits he’s already bought. Last weekend for example, he decided that for the first time ever he would scan the lottery tickets he’d bought for the “syndicate” just to prove to his site visitors that he really did do the lottery for them. We’d pointed out on here that he only ever types the numbers in of the tickets he’d bought, and how he always did that AFTER the draw.

There were no scans this week. And still no evidence that he actually does the pools either. Maybe we should speak to someone at Vernons about it. After all, everyone in his Gold Club is a part of his syndicate and therefore entitled to query whether he’s made the entries he promised. We knew the scanning of the lottery tickets would be short-lived, but one week! That’s Dunk though, his memory is awful, and that’s why his lies always look so pathetic.
Still no webcam. Still no “staff page”. Because it’s still just him, his mum and Steve. Using that paper-based system to look up you users in their “database” because they don’t store information about users on a computer. Oh no sir, not us. The promised photos of the new staff all working together for you will never appear. Like the photos and videos of the first day of training at Melwood he’d promised us. One photo, one video, both taken over the fence is all he had. And a load of estate agents leaflets for places for sale near Melwood.

And those three in Dunk’s shed are the people you’ll no doubt need to get in touch with very soon when he does give the SMS fad up again – here’s a comment from an earlier post on this blog which shows it’s not the first time he’s done this.

chapeau du soleil:- “A few years ago the fat [guess?] ran a subscription SMS service. Not sure how much it was but I remember it went tits up after a couple of months. He made some excuse that his provider stopped the service without warning…more like the providers warned him several times to pay his bills and he couldn’t be arsed. He came out with the old “dig out your email for a refund” onus-is-on-you-nonsense. A classic Del Johnson sting”

And thanks to “chapeau du soleil” for the photo too – something a few of you suggested reminds you of a fat Yorkshire website owner who lives in Newcastle.

So for those few remaining Koptalk visitors a clear message – don’t pay him a penny.

Oh dear, what kind of sad fool would pay Oldham 40 squid a year for his newsnow feeds? I’ll do my best to email as many people as possible to spread the word about yet another scam. It’s the exact same service as the Gold Club.

My texts stopped after a while, I opted for the team selection so I got the team news before I got in the ground, needless to say these mysteriously stopped.
Now apparently I’ve got to phone Steve to get it activated again FFS.

I’ll be fucked if I’m phoning round like a fuckin helmet, it’s just one big intertangled heap of shite.

you should print an article about his xbox360 christmas give away. he had a picture on the main page http://www.koptalk.com with him and steve, his trusty assistant, posing with 3 brand new xbox360. he had, apparently, bought these xbox360 to give away on his site. the readers of the site were well excited. a quiz regarding the history of LFC was mooted by oldham. people who got the most correct answers would go through to the next round and so on until there were 3 left. needless to say that idea was abolished after a day or 2 and a premium rate number was introduced for readers to phone and try and claim the much sought after prize. this competition went on for much of november and all of december, well right up until the 23rd of december because the consoles were promise for delivery on christmas eve. steve and oldham were going to personally deliver them! and the 3 winners would be announced on the site for all the rest of his gold club and insider members to congratulate the winners. needless to say there was no announcment and no winners. whenever a site member asked for clarification of who the winners were the thread was locked or deleted within minutes. in the meantime oldham had yet again fleeced fans through a premium rate phone number and failed to deliver the goods.

as for the SMS service…i used to receive text on a regular basis for around 2 months and then the service suddenly stopped.

my advice to all koptalk members is to distance themselves from this site. the man who runs it is not affiliated with LFC in any way shape or form. he is using the goodwill of fans to line his own pockets. he is the internet version of the sun.

i wonder how peter crouch would feel about dunk’s revelations regarding him? or rick parry for that matter?

Hey insider i think you may have unearthed Oldhams next scam with the article you wrote.
In about 4 weeks time Oldham’s little pal, steve, will post a sticky at the top of every forum. *Everyone Pray. Duncan has had a heart attack 😦 *

You open the thread and young steve(really oldham) writes,
Im afraid i have to relaese the bad news that Duncan has had a heart attack (cakes & pies) and is in hosptial (his local pub) as we speak. Sadly with dunk not around the work load will become to great and we will have to close the site down ……………………………………………………………………… unless you can afford to give us £30 so we can HIRE a replacement for Dunk while he recovers. If 1000 of you could donate we CAN keep the site running. Its upto you, because after all it is YOUR site.

Few hours later and another update.

Latest news on Dunk :- We have been informed that dunk needs a new heart (didnt know he had one in the 1st place) and the only one avaible is in America. We need £40,000 to get it here. Please donate as much as you can. please send all cheques to Mar oldham.

Bensuruncle – now that you have (I assume) agreed to pay Dunk £40 a year, please , in all seriousness, bear in mind these points:

Check with Paypal to make sure that your payment hasn’t been set up as reoccuring annually. I bet that in 12 months you will want to reconsider your investment.

Keep any documentation that Dunk send you incase you want to cancel or amend your order. Dunk runs his site like a supermarket – no receipt, no refund.

Now, think about this. As a Liverpool supporter how do you feel about the fact that the S*n will now profit from your money? Dunk buys at least one issue (and the NOTW) a day and your money now supports it…you may even get SMS messages relaying a story from the said paper. All Liverpool fans must boycott the S*n until at least a replica ‘Exclusive’ headline is printed – all we want is ‘The Truth’. Dunk is basically insulting the memory of the 96.

Why would anyone pay for a service that a google search could find out? I honestly struggle to comprehend this. Check out TLW, RAWK, est1892 etc etc, its the same info, maybe even sooner. I don’t go onto KT anymore, but I bet i know just as much as you, and look…I have £40 here burning a hole in my pocket! Hmmmm the pub is calling…
